*Official* 2nd ODI at Old Trafford

[Paul S]

See, this is what happens when we don't have Cook and Bell to give as a fast start.

Cook and Bell hardly attack in the first 8-10 overs.

 

[Paul S]

Obviously KP and Morgan will have to play innings of substance to get close to this target.

 

[Spark]

that's a great ball

 

[Cabinet96]

Jeez, this has been some start by Mitch. 90mph plus accurate thunderbolts.

 

[grecian]

well this is going spiffingly.....

 

[Maximas]

sigh

 

[MW1304]

Hahahaha never gets old

 

[Maximas]

decent nut

 

[Spikey]

should have slog swept

 

[grecian]

Don't worry, Bop is still to come, he's got this.

 

[Maximas]

why is Simon Kerrigan coming on to bowl??? Bring on the beer man ffs

well, actually he started well - really well

 

[Maximas]

Fawad really needs to bowl with more overspin and some more flight, the sweep is killing him

 

[BoyBrumby]

Looking awesome, is Johnson. Pace, bounce, movement, all boxes ticked.

Must be so frustrating for the selectors. They know he can bowl like this, he just doesn't do it more than once in the proverbial azure luna.

 

[BoyBrumby]

Ah, fudge. The half-volley does the trick.

 

[grecian]

Finally the real match can begin, you can only have so much foreplay.

 

[BoyBrumby]

Reminds me about the old joke about Australian foreplay:

"Brace yourself, Sheila"

 

[Spikey]

"I think David Hussey was unlucky" I think you should shut up Greg

 

[Spark]

oh ravi

 

[Spikey]

ravi cbf. good man.

 

[grecian]

Oh dear, slightly tame dismissal, still glad no-one was hyping him up too much......
